As for the one area of disagreement (not understanding the reason for expecting an overal cooling during the 1st millennium), I'll refer Ray to the appropriate areas of his Paleoclimatology text book, and show him some additional recent work relevant to this, upon my return. Thanks again to all for working to make the final product one we can all be happy with. best regards, mike _______________________________________________________________________ Michael E.
